Application

Vermicompost can be applied in any crop at any stage, but it would be more beneficial if mixed in soil after broadcasting. Any quantity of vermicompost has been proved to be beneficial in rainfed crops where chemical fertilisers have not been used in the past. However, where crops are supplied with adequate amount of chemical fertilisers, one-third of the fertilisers can be replaced by vermicompost on the basis of nitrogen content and requirement of the crop. Generally, it can be used in following quantities for different agricultural crops: Field crops 8-12 quintals/acre; Vegetable 12-20 quintals/acre; Flower plants 100-200 grams/sq. ft.; Fruit trees 5-1 0 kg/tree.
